The Shadow reprints

[hey_j...@hotmail.com]

Hi! I'm looking for covers of the Belmont 'The Shadow' paperbacks; can
someone point me in the right direction? Also, are the 60's Belmont
paperbacks reprints of original pulp novels, or are they new stories
penned by Maxwell Grant?

The Belmont Shadow paperbacks were not reprints of the pulp series, but
new stories. Only the first one was written by Walter B. Gibson as
Maxwell Grant. The others were written by someone else. I think his
name was Lind.

Unfortunately, they weren't very good and were trying to create a
series as if the Shadow were a spy instead of a crime fighter. Belmont
was trying to compete with the Man from U.N.C.L.E.,. James Bond, Flint,
and others of the genre.

I have the books and can scan the covers if that helps.
The stories are all new.
The first is written by Walter Gibson.

Dennis Lynds, who passed away a while back was writing the Man From
U.N.C.L.E. and Mike Shayne stories for Leo Margulies' magazines. I
actually enjoyed his Shadow novels, and wrote the booklet, "From Shadow
To Superman" about Lynds' Shadow stories.
